Depending on the color of your car you will probably not notice the yellow. AW will show the yellow obviously. I have Ventureshield on all my cars, oldest being installed 5 yrs ago didn't notice any yellowing.

Same product?

Ive seen yellowing on white and silver cars. Cant recall other colors with the film, maybe because you cant see the yellowing.

Yup all Ventureshield. I have it on a Silver Grey SUV and I leave it outside all the time. Don't see any yellowing, but I agree it will be prominent on white cars.

I had it on the front of my AW Z4 MC and it was well worth the protection it gave and after 5 years it still looked like the day it was installed. When you wax it you always wax from the film toward the edge so you don't get wax build up on the edges. When I messed up I could take a towel and follow the edge to remove the wax. As far as price goes Lamin-x has an installer network here:

Anyone have any experience with Avery Nano-Fusion film? I've got a number of folks telling me it is the best out there.

Spent the better part of the morning attempting to install one headlight cover. If these are custom-cut, I would hate to see universal. Any successful non-professionals: much respect.

Oh Boy~ waiting for my film to come in to give it a shot.

Any tips or suggestions?

I still haven't succeeded, so nope. That doesn't mean you won't be, it might slap right no for you. In the event it doesn't, however, have that beverage of choice chilled.

Instead of starting a new thread since there seem to be quite a few on this topic, let me revive this one.

Without a doubt I will be protecting my car with PPF, and plan on doing a full hood, bumper, flares, headlights and mirror.
I've used the search and read all the threads so don't give me any of these I don't want to hear it hahaha
After reading seems like 3M and Lamin-X and Xpel self-healing (Very cool) are the way to go, but the area of most importance seems to be finding a good installer.

So for those in or know the Southern California area...

Are there any installers you'd recommend?
